FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, the Hunter Kids First Boots are handcrafted from natural rubber and designed to be fully waterproof, making them perfect for puddle splashing and rainy conditions.
What material are the boots made from?
The main boot is made from natural rubber, and the interior lining is 100% recycled polyester for comfort.
How do I clean these boots?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed), then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Can my child wear these boots in winter?
These boots provide protection from wet conditions. While the lining offers some comfort, they are not insulated for extreme cold or snow. For winter wear, we recommend pairing them with thick thermal socks.
What does 'Kids First' series mean?
The 'Kids First' series from Hunter is specifically designed with children in mind, featuring elements like a flat sole and rounded toe to support growing feet and ensure comfort and ease of movement.
Are these boots true to size?
Hunter Kids First Boots are generally true to size according to standard UK children's footwear sizing. We recommend measuring your child's foot and consulting a size chart if unsure, or trying them on with the type of socks your child will typically wear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. If they still feel uncomfortable, double-check the size against your child's foot measurements. Hunter boots are generally true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider trying a half size up with thicker socks if too tight, or adding a thicker sock if too loose.
Child's feet get sweaty.
Rubber boots, by nature, are not highly breathable. Encourage your child to wear socks made of breathable materials like cotton or merino wool. Allow the boots to air out completely between uses, and avoid wearing them for extended periods indoors.
White powdery film appears on the boots ('blooming').
This is a natural process for high-quality natural rubber and is not a fault. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. Specialized rubber boot buffers or silicone sprays can also be used to restore the original sheen.
Boots are hard to put on.
Ensure socks are smooth and not bunched up. For very young children, gently guiding their foot and holding the top of the boot open can help. A thin boot liner or a silk sock can also make sliding the foot in easier.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Hunter Kids First Boots:
- Cleaning: After use, especially if muddy, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild liquid soap (if necessary). Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the rubber to crack or degrade.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Store them upright to maintain their shape.
- Blooming: Occasionally, you might notice a white powdery film on the rubber. This is called 'blooming' and is a natural process of high-quality natural rubber. It is not a defect. It can be wiped away with a damp cloth.
